Extended Data Fig. 4: Relationship between ice to rock mass fraction, fice, and predicted central heavy element mass fraction (ice plus rock), Zin.

Extended Data Fig. 4

The red histogram shows the distribution of Zin in models with fice < 1/3; the blue histogram shows the same for models with fice > 2/3. Models are from the baseline case and colored by log likelihood as in Figs. 2-3. For models with predominantly icy cores, the preferred value of Zin is near unity, and vice versa.
